Pros

J&J is a big name that offers CV fluff. It is looked upon favorably for future employment endeavors.

Cons

1) Benefits are continually cut 2) Salary is on the low end versus industry average (bonuses are even lower) 3) No stock or stock options are granted unless you're a "golden boy" 4) Senior management is very indecisive 5) The company is unstable with perceived job security as being very, very low

Pros

The colleagues I worked with were great, friendly, helpful. Because the colleagues were great, I'd love to work there full-time, but this was a short contract.

Cons

The supervisor I was ultimately working for had never worked in digital-related products, in which I had decades of experience. He seemed to be unaware of what every colleague would be telling me (I was interviewing colleagues using a software the manager was intending to propose use for firm-wide). Both the colleagues I interviewed, and the internal technical staff I was speaking with knew the project would not function as he seemed intent on ... forcing(?) it do so. I gave him the resulting report of its users' feedback, and I was finished with my contract. He had gone through 2 other women in this same role, already. And he hired a male after me who delivered esentially the same results. Because I wasn't there, I have no idea of the dream outcome this manager attained, or switched to, later.
